A note about: starting at 0:09
we can see the real time use of the four pallete sliders.
Each patch can have up to four
individual tones.
This is a resource many new synths like to show at
their demos but this often go unforgotten on the JD-800.
So it is
possible to create a path with four different tones and choose what you
want play in real time.
But just to remember, the effects are unique for all. Because
this the only I miss at the JD are a set of sliders to real time control
of the effects area (one of the best for decades).﻿

Most waveform cards also include a special setup to map various sounds
to individual keys. Only the three drum cards and the Accordian Card
include Drum Maps. The four other cards only map waveforms to keys.

The sounds on the patch cards are very rich and often better than the
internal sounds but there are some noticable filler sounds on each card.

A few cards - String Ensemble & Grand Piano only have 7 waveforms because more memory is needed.

Unfortunately, the cards & patches are quite stunning & realistic and very hard to find. It could cost you more to buy each
card individually than the cost of the Keyboard itself.

My notes:

The waveform cards are used by position number. This means, the data card patch get the waveform by number.
So, if you just put another waveform card, for example, the patch using the 3rd waveform will use it too.

If you have not the waveform card, try using the internal.
The data cards have somne diferent programming, so, you can use the Sysex of the card, but with the internal waveforms. Just edit the patch and assign to the internal waveform you choose. For sure you will not have the same results like the strings or pinao cards, but that are really interesting.

The String Ensembleis a must have! Try it as you can.

A last note, the Roland Fantom have the JD800 acoustic piano included. Despiste the small sample memory, it's so very good to be included there with famous others.
